Located in the midst of the tiny Japantown of San Jose is a Ethiopian restaurant I’ve been meaning to check out. I finally did today and I loved it! They have a big vegetarian section on their menu but its Vegan! Instead of using butter, they use olive oil in their foods that makes it…me (vegan) friendly. The taste is rich and flavorful making vegan food fun again . You get a plate full of spongy Ethiopian bread that you tear and scoop your food with. It’s exotic and comforting at the same time, I’m definitely going back again soon!

I got the Veggie combo which came with 5 different varieties…I really enjoyed all of them, especially the chickpea dish (i can’t recall the names), potato, cabbage and carrot dish and a green bean medley. The owner let us try out recommended #18 which is a red lentil dish which tastes like chili and its super Yum! Also, the service is friendly and it feels like a home-cooked meal which is always a nice touch. ENJOY!
